26:1  Ta sin mim

26:2  These are the verses of the manifest Book

26:3  (O Prophet,) perhaps you are going to let yourself collapse in grief because they do not believe

26:4  If We so will, We can send down to them a sign from the sky, for which their necks will stay bent in submission

26:5  Never a new message comes to them from the RaHman (the All-Merciful Allah), but they become averse to it

26:6  Thus they rejected (the Truth); well, soon will come to them the real descriptions of what they used to ridicule

26:7  Have they not looked at the earth, how many of the noble pairs (of vegetation) We have caused to grow in it

26:8  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:9  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:10  (Remember) when your Lord called Musa saying, .Go to the transgressing people

26:11  the people of Pharaoh. Do they not fear Allah?

26:12  He (Musa) said, .My Lord, I fear that they will reject me

26:13  My heart gets straitened, and my tongue is not fluent; so send for Harun

26:14  Moreover, they have (leveled) a charge of offence against me, and I fear they will kill me;

26:15  He (Allah) said, .Never! (They will not be able to kill you.) So go, both of you, with Our signs. We are with you, listening (to the conversation you will have with him.

26:16  So go, both of you, to Pharaoh and say, ‘We both are messengers of the Lord of all the worlds

26:17  (sent with the message) that you must send the children of Isra‘il with us‘

26:18  He (Pharaoh) said, .Did we not nourish you among us as a child? And you remained amidst us for years

26:19  and you did the blunder you did; still you are ungrateful

26:20  He said, .I did that at a time when I was mistaken

26:21  Then I fled away from you when I feared you. Thereafter my Lord granted wisdom to me, and made me one of the messengers

26:22  As for the favor with which you are obliging me, it is that you have enslaved the children of Isra‘il

26:23  Pharaoh said, .What is the Lord of the worlds?

26:24  He (Musa) said, .Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever there is between them, if you are to believe

26:25  He (The Pharaoh) said to those around him, .Are you not hearing?

26:26  He (Musa) said, .Your Lord and the Lord of your early forefathers

26:27  He (Pharaoh) said, .Your messenger who is sent to you is a mad man indeed

26:28  He (Musa) said, .Lord of the East and the West and whatever lies between them, if you are to understand

26:29  He (Pharaoh) said, .If you adopt a God other than me, I will certainly put you to prison

26:30  He (Musa) said .Will you (do this) even if I bring to you something evident?

26:31  He said, .Then bring it, if you are truthful

26:32  So, he threw down his staff, and in no time it was a serpent, clearly visible

26:33  and he drew out his hand, and right then it was a white light to the onlookers

26:34  He (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs around him .This man is certainly an expert sorcerer

26:35  He wants to expel you from your land with his sorcery. So what do you suggest?

26:36  They said, .Leave him and his brother alone for some time, and send heralds to the cities

26:37  so that they bring to you every highly expert sorcerer

26:38  So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a known day

26:39  and it was said to the people, .Would you assemble

26:40  so that we may follow the sorcerers if they are victorious?

26:41  So, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, .Will there be a sure reward for us, if we are the victorious?

26:42  He said, .Yes, and of course, you will then be among the closer ones

26:43  Musa said to them, .Throw you down what you are to throw

26:44  So they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, .By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the triumphant for sure

26:45  Then Musa threw down his staff, and in no time it started swallowing the falsehood they invented

26:46  So the sorcerers were made (by the truth they saw) to fall down in prostration

26:47  They said, .We have believed in the Lord of the worlds

26:48  the Lord of Musa and Harun

26:49  He (Pharaoh) said, .You have believed in him before I permit you. Surely, he (Musa) is the chief of you all, who has taught you sorcery. So you will soon know (your fate). I will cut off your hands and feet from different sides, and will crucify you all together

26:50  They said, .There is no harm. We will return to our Lord

26:51  We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our faults, as we are the first of the believers

26:52  And We revealed to Musa saying, .Make My servants travel at night. You will be pursued

26:53  So Pharaoh sent into the cities (his) men to muster (people

26:54  saying, .These are a small band

26:55  and indeed they are enraging us

26:56  and we are a host, well-armed

26:57  Thus We expelled them (i.e. the people of Pharaoh) from gardens and springs

26:58  and from treasures and a noble abode

26:59  Thus it was. And We made the children of Isra‘il inherit all such things

26:60  So they (the people of Pharaoh) pursued them (the people of Musa) at the time of sunrise

26:61  And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa said, .Surely we are overtaken

26:62  He said, .Never! Indeed with me is my Lord. He will guide me

26:63  So We revealed to Musa saying, .Strike the sea with your staff. So it was severed apart, and each part became like a big mountain

26:64  Then We brought others close to that place

26:65  And We saved Musa and all those with him

26:66  Then we drowned the others

26:67  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:68  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:69  And recite before them the narrative of Ibrahim

26:70  when he said to his father and to his people, .What do you worship?

26:71  They said, .We worship idols, and stay devoted to them

26:72  He said, .Do they listen to you when you call (them

26:73  or do they bring benefit to you or harm?

26:74  They said, .No, but we have found our fathers doing like this

26:75  He said, .Have you then ever considered what you have been worshipping

26:76  you and your ancient fathers

26:77  they all are an enemy to me, except the Lord of the worlds

26:78  who created me, and who guides me

26:79  and Who feeds me and gives me drink

26:80  and when I become sick, He heals me

26:81  and who will make me die, then will give me life

26:82  and who, I hope, will forgive my fault on the Day of Retribution

26:83  O my Lord, give me wisdom, and make me join the righteous

26:84  and destine for me a truthful description among the next generations

26:85  and make me among those who will inherit the Garden of Bliss

26:86  and forgive my father. Indeed he was one of those who went astray

26:87  and do not put me to disgrace on the Day when all will be raised to life

26:88  the Day when neither wealth will be of any use (to any one) nor sons

26:89  except to him who will come to Allah with a sound heart

26:90  and the Paradise will be brought near to the God-fearin

26:91  and the Hell will be fully uncovered for the perverse

26:92  and it will be said to them, ‘Where is that which you used to worship

26:93  beside Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?‘

26:94  So they (their false gods) will be thrown on their faces into it - they and the erring peopl

26:95  and the entire army of Iblis (Satan), all together

26:96  They will say when they will be quarreling there with each other

26:97  By Allah, we were in open error

26:98  when we used to equate you with the Lord of the worlds

26:99  and it is only the sinners who misguided us

26:100  Now we have neither any intercessor

26:101  nor any true friend

26:102  Would that we have a chance to return whereby we may join the believers!‘

26:103  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:104  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:105  The people of NuH rejected the messenger

26:106  when their brother NuH said to them, .Do you not fear Allah

26:107  I am an honest messenger for you

26:108  So, fear Allah and obey me

26:109  I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds

26:110  so, fear Allah and obey me

26:111  They said, .Shall we believe in you while you are followed by the lowest people?

26:112  He said, .I do not know about what they do

26:113  their account is with none but with my Lord, if you have sense

26:114  And I am not the one who would drive the believers away

26:115  I am no more than a plain warner

26:116  They said, .Should you not stop, O NuH, you will surely be stoned

26:117  He said, .My Lord, my people have rejected me

26:118  So judge between me and them with an open verdict, and save me and all the believers who are with me

26:119  So We saved him and those with him in the Ark that was fully occupied

26:120  Then We drowned, after that, all the remaining

26:121  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believer

26:122  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Very-Merciful

26:123  The (people of) ‘Ad rejected the messenger

26:124  when their brother Hud said to them, .Do you not fear Allah

26:125  I am an honest messenger for you

26:126  so fear Allah and obey me

26:127  I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds

26:128  Do you erect on every height a monument, having no sound purpose

26:129  and take the objects of architecture as if you are going to live forever

26:130  and when you seize (someone) you seize as tyrants

26:131  So fear Allah and obey me

26:132  And fear the One who has supported you with what you know

26:133  He has supported you with cattle and sons

26:134  and with gardens and springs

26:135  In fact I fear for you the punishment of a horrible day

26:136  They said, .It is all equal for us, whether you give us advice or you do not become one of the advisors

26:137  This is nothing but the practice of the ancient

26:138  and we are not going to be punished

26:139  Thus they rejected him, so We destroyed them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:140  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:141  The (people of) Thamud rejected the messenger

26:142  when their brother SaliH said to them, .Do you not fear Allah

26:143  I am an honest messenger for you

26:144  So, fear Allah and obey me

26:145  I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds

26:146  Will you be left secure in whatever is here

26:147  in gardens and springs

26:148  and in farms and date-palms, the spathes of which are interwoven

26:149  You hew out houses from the hills with pride

26:150  So fear Allah and obey me

26:151  and do not obey the order of the transgressor

26:152  who make mischief on the land and who do not set things right

26:153  They said, .You are merely one of those bewitched

26:154  You are nothing but a human like us. So, bring a sign if you are one of the truthful

26:155  He said, .This is a she-camel. She has a share of water, and you have a share of water on a specified day

26:156  So do not touch her with evil (intent), lest you should be seized by a painful punishment

26:157  But they killed her, then they became remorseful

26:158  and the punishment seized them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:159  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:160  The people of LuT rejected the messenger

26:161  when their brother LuT said to them, .Do you not fear Allah

26:162  I am an honest messenger for you

26:163  So fear Allah and obey me

26:164  I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds

26:165  Do you go to the males (for having sex) out of the whole universe

26:166  and leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? Indeed you are a people who cross (all) limits

26:167  They said, .If you do not stop O LuT, you shall be included among the outcast

26:168  He said .Indeed, I am annoyed with your act

26:169  My Lord, save me and my family from what they do

26:170  So We saved him and his family, all of the

26:171  except an old woman among those who remained behind

26:172  Then We destroyed the others

26:173  and subjected them to a terrible rain. So evil was the rain of those who were warned

26:174  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:175  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:176  The people of Aaikah rejected the messenger

26:177  when Shu‘aib said to them, .Do you not fear Allah

26:178  I am an honest messenger for you

26:179  So fear Allah and obey me

26:180  And I do not claim from you any reward for it; my reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds

26:181  Give full measure, and do not be among those who bring loss to others

26:182  Weigh with an even balance

26:183  and do not make people short of their things, and do not spread disorder in the land as mischief-makers

26:184  and be fearful of the One who created you and the former generations

26:185  They said, .You are but one of the bewitched men

26:186  You are no more than a human like us, and in fact we consider you to be one of the liars

26:187  So cause a piece from the sky to fall down upon us, if you are one of the truthful

26:188  He said, .My Lord knows well what you do

26:189  Thus they rejected him, so they were seized by the torment of the Day of Canopy. Indeed it was the punishment of a terrible day

26:190  Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers

26:191  and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful

26:192  This (Qur‘an) is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds

26:193  The Trusted Spirit has brought it dow

26:194  upon your heart, so that you become one of the warner

26:195  in plain Arabic language

26:196  And of course, it is (mentioned) in the Scriptures of the former people

26:197  Is it not a proof for them that the knowledgeable of the children of Isra‘il recognize him (the prophet)

26:198  Even if We had revealed it to a Non-Arab

26:199  and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it

26:200  This is how We have made it pass through the hearts of the sinners

26:201  They will not believe in it until they will see the painful punishmen

26:202  and it will come to them suddenly while they will not be anticipating (it)

26:203  and (then) they will say, .Is it (possible) that we are given some respite?

26:204  Is it then Our punishment that they are trying to hasten up

26:205  So tell me, if We give them enjoyment for years

26:206  then comes to them what they are warned of

26:207  what help can they receive from the comforts they were given to enjoy

26:208  We did not destroy any town unless it has had warner

26:209  to give advice, and We have never been unjust

26:210  And this (Qur‘an) is not brought down by devils

26:211  It neither suits them, nor are they able to (do this)

26:212  In fact, they are kept far away from hearing (it at the time of revelation)

26:213  So do not invoke any other god along with Allah, otherwise you will be among those who are to be punished

26:214  And warn the nearest people of your clan

26:215  and be kind with humbleness to the believers who followed you

26:216  So if they disobey you, then say, .I disown what you do,

26:217  and place your trust in the Mighty, the Merciful

26:218  Who sees you when you stand (in prayer,

26:219  and (sees) your movement among those who prostrate themselves

26:220  Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing

26:221  Shall I tell you on whom the devils descend

26:222  They descend on every sinful liar

26:223  They give ear to hear (secretly,) and most of them tell lies

26:224  As for the poets, they are followed by the straying people

26:225  Did you not see that they wander in every valley

26:226  and that they say what they do not

26:227  Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah very much, and defend themselves after they are wronged. And the wrongdoers will soon know to which place they are going to return
